' E F is a flange, forminga part of the stock A, and

serves a double purpose, namely," the part F serves as` a gauge to run in the rand and to guide the knife, while the part E serves as a shield to prevent the shavings from covering the rand, andthus allows the operator to see the position ot' the knife.
